A personal account of recognizing ADHD in adulthood

Alana Reeves uses her own late diagnosis to examine how ADHD can remain unrecognized beyond childhood, particularly for women whose school and career experiences may not match common stereotypes. Alongside the personal rethinking that follows diagnosis, the book addresses practical and emotional terrain: reminder systems, impostor syndrome, medication, hyperfocus, parenting, and the process of understanding neurodiversity. Its candid scope places everyday overwhelm and self-perception beside information about adult diagnosis, tracing a shift from longstanding uncertainty toward a newly informed sense of self.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults exploring the subject of ADHD diagnosis later in life
  • Women interested in discussion of ADHD beyond classroom stereotypes
  • Parents interested in ADHD, hyperfocus, and neurodiversity

Book overview

Imagine jogging along (not actually jogging, yuck) for your whole life without realising that you have ADHD. Seems far-fetched, doesn't it? How can you have no idea about such an obvious thing? Very easily, actually.

 

Turns out that feeling constantly on edge, having intricate reminder systems in place to ensure you don't miss appointments and having 437 thoughts on the go at any one time isn't how everyone lives.

 

ADHD isn't exclusive to little boys who struggle in the classroom. In fact, many women with ADHD breezed through their schooling and have

successful careers.

 

This book is a funny, no-holds-barred exploration of adult ADHD diagnosis, jam-packed with information about diagnosis, impostor syndrome, medication, hyperfocus, parenting, being a woman with ADHD and so much more.

 

Come along as Alana learns to lean into her neurodiversity, disassembling who she thought she was, only to reassemble as the new her - medicated and ready to step into the next part of her life with the knowledge she never knew she needed.
